Wind Power: Creating a Wind Generator
Source Institutions
    
  This lesson challenges groups of learners to design and construct a wind generator with the most electrical output.
   
Circles of Magnetism I
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity related to magnetism and electricity, learners create a magnetic field that's stronger than the Earth's magnetic field.
  Properties of Metals
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity, learners explore the properties of metals at four stations. The stations include A) Magnetism and Breakfast Cereal; B) Conductivity of Metals; C) Alloys; and D) Metal Plating.
   
Floating Butterfly
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity, learners create a cool floating animal using the science of magnetism. Learners discover what happens when a piece of magnetic metal enters a magnet's field.
   
Investigating the Insides
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity, learners work in teams to investigate the composition of unseen materials using a variety of tools.
   
Electromagnet
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity, learners build an electromagnet using a nail, a cork, a battery, and electrical wire. Use this activity to demonstrate how electric currents produce magnet fields.
   
Magnet Tower
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity, learners build magnetic towers to explore the forces and properties of magnets.
   
Recycling Rules: Understanding Recycling and a MRF
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity, learners simulate the separation techniques that materials recovery facilities (MRFs) use and then design their own series of recycling techniques.
   
Neato-Magneto Planets
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity, teams of learners study magnetic fields at four separate stations: examining magnetic fields generated by everyday items, mapping out a magnetic field using a compass, creating model
   
How Do We Convert Mechanical Energy into Electrical Energy?
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity, learners use a compass, powerful magnet, and copper magnet wire to build a special generator known as a dynamo.
   
Circles of Magnetism IV
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity related to magnetism and electricity, learners observe as two parallel, current-carrying wires exert forces on each other.
   
Magnetic Seesaw
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity, learners build a seesaw powered by magnets.
   
History of Electricity
Source Institutions
    
  This is a series of demonstrations about different electrical and magnetic phenomena.
   
Magnetic Marble Run
Source Institutions
    
  Learners explore magnetism and motion as they build a simple marble run. Learners test different arrangements of plastic and cardboard tubes, bottles, and cups on a magnetic board.
